However, as you pointed out, Liberty lawns are very light; so an underlining of plain regular quilting cotton in a light shade would be advisable should you actually want to use the quilt. This would add stability, a little heft, and finish the quilt nicely as it would help it settle in during and after the quilting. Don&#39;t worry it won&#39;t quilt well, it will actually help since your Liberty is so light. I second the suggestions to use a good quality batting. If your quilt is washed, it should be washed in cool to lukewarm water at all times, preferably with an eco-type (gentle) liquid or powder washing solution. <br /><br />Very pretty by the way.hopflowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-76176468043889379112017-06-15T14:31:09.816+01:002017-06-15T14:31:09.816+01:00Use some good wadding - it&#39;s work beautifullyUse some good wadding - it&#39;s work beautifullyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-23332621507644042112017-06-15T02:16:48.279+01:002017-06-15T02:16:48.279+01:00Just use a good batting, I like Hobbs 80/20 myself...Just use a good batting, I like Hobbs 80/20 myself.

I haven&#39;t made any quilts so can&#39;t offer any advice on the lining but I have used Tana lawn for all sorts of things (including bras and pants because I can&#39;t bear to throw even tiny scraps of it away) and it punches above its weight in terms of wear and robusticity.
